Know When Laptop Lid Is Closed?

Sep 28, 2010

I have a laptop with windows 7 and I am trying to make a program for it. I want it to do is after a certain time of day when I close the lid of my laptop it will make it go to sleep. But at every other time of the day I want it to stay awake when I close the lid.

I have been looking all over the internet and i don't understand what people are saying.

If anyone can tell me a way of knowing when my laptops lid is closed in vb.net that would be fantastic.

.net - DataReader Not Closed When Connection Is Closed, Consequences?

May 31, 2011

for example i have this code :

Sub Month()
Dim Conn As New Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection
Conn.Open()
Try
Dim Cmd As New Data.OracleClient.OracleCommand
With Cmd

[Code]...

What will happen to the datareader when the Connection is closed ( Conn.close)

Will the Cursor that is used by the datareader be freed ? or will it stay open ?

If the cursor that is used by the datareader is still open , when will it be automatically closed ? or should i just closed it manually ?

Will it cause the dreaded "ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded" ?
